Step 1 — Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro SK17i Teardown

Turn Off the phone :), Remove back cover, battery and simcard + sd card from the phone!
Step 2

Behind the battery, you will have to remove the CE sticker!

Remove from Sim-tray and down, it wont break.
Step 3

Remove 7 bolts.

Release clickholders, 5 pcs (green). The back should lift up from the surround.

Release from the bottom up.

Be careful around the camera, as theres a Flex cable right under it, attatched to the logicboard.

Release the Flex cable by lifting the lower end off the logic board, and lift off the back assembly.
Step 5

Easiest way: is to flick it at the top, where you removed 2 bolts. It will come off, pretty easy.

Once slide is removed, you got access to LCD and touch
assembly. Easily remove the small flexcable from touch to LCD and take
off LCD.
-
Only the Touch screen is left -> next.
Step 9
-
The LCD and the Touch glass CAN NOT be separated!!!!!!!!
-
Go to step 10!
Step 10

Use a thin tool to wiggle the touch screen from the
metal+plastic frame, and then throw the lcd + touch screen into the BIN
(ONLY IF U NEED TO REPLACE LCD OR TOUCH SCREEN)
